It’s been a few years since Suzanne Collins’ bestselling novel series, The Hunger Games, first hit the big screen starring X-Men: First Class’ Jennifer Lawrence and Journey to the Center of the Earth’s Josh Hutcherson.

But you know what? Katniss Everdeen is still a hero until now – and forever it may seem.

You see, there’s more to this bow-wielding victor than most people think. Because ladies and gentlemen, here are what makes Katniss Everdeen a hero:

Her Love For Her Family

This was especially evident in the first part of The Hunger Games, back when Katniss’ sister Primrose was nominated to be the girl tribute of the 75th Hunger Games with boy tribute Peeta Mellark. Katniss then volunteered to be the next girl tribute in exchange for Prim’s freedom from getting butchered senselessly the current year and her traumatized mother’s survival as she won’t be around to hunt food for the both of them.

Her Respect For Her Father

If you can recall, Katniss loves to be on her feet, hence her highly impressive character towards bows. However, it’s not just survival for her and her family nor a way to communicate with her best friend Gale without anyone judging them. It’s for her to get closer with her father’s memory, who passed away years ago during a coal mine explosion in District 12. It’s also for her to get closer to her father’s legacy, who taught her all that is there to learn about bows and arrows.

Her Loyalty For Peeta Mellark

If you can also recall, Katniss loves to be on her head, hence her highly unimpressive attitude towards people. However, it’s not just strategy for her and her team nor a way to excommunicate with her assigned mentor Haymitch without anyone judging them. It’s for her to get closer with her teammate’s memory, who practically gave her a new reason to wake up every single day. It’s also for her to get closer to her teammate’s legacy, who taught her all that is there to learn about faithfulness and love.

Indeed, it seems like the odds will forever be in Katniss Everdeen’s favor.

What about you?

What do you think makes Katniss Everdeen a hero?

Is it just her love for her family? Is it just her respect for her father? Is it just her loyalty for Peeta Mellark?

Admit it or not, we just can’t live without the existence of movies nowadays. It’s one of the few things everyone has in common that doesn’t only make a person feel more relaxed than usual especially after a long day of hustle and bustle at work, but also make a person feel more rejuvenated than usual even after a long day of calm and peace at home.

Be it with your families during the weekends or with your friends during the holidays, having a movie night simply makes everything better.

Whether you’re planning to watch the newest Avengers movie with your families or the oldest X-Men movie with your friends, having your movie night by the pool is one great way to cool off from the hustle and bustle of your work life. You see, not only will you enjoy watching a movie over chips and sodas or cheese and wines, but also enjoy keeping yourself relaxed over the water as you watch the movie and keeping yourself rejuvenated under the water as you watch the movie – both at the same time and even more.

Perfect Locations For Movie Nights Number 2: By The Rooftop

Surely, nothing beats watching a movie under the bright stars at night. Having a movie night by the rooftop will also not only make you feel closer with your movie buddies, but also closer with Mother Nature as you learn to appreciate what’s right above you. Even more so, it will be just like watching a movie in a real theater – only better as you get to see over 5 billion shinies above you as you enjoy the movie with those who are close to your heart. Ah, just thinking about having an experience like this makes for a well-spent movie night – more than the actual value of a movie ticket in theaters.

Our life is never complete without us being able to watch a movie. Be it in the local theater with our friends or in the living room with our families, watching a movie gives us the kind of breather we needed to have from the hustle and the bustle of our everyday lives. Be it every month’s first weekend with our families or every year’s special holiday with our friends, watching a movie also gives us the kind of challenger we needed to have from the calm and the peace of our other lives.

Thus, it’s only right for one to make sure that they have something awesome to snack on during a movie.

Watching a movie in the local theater with your friends? Snack on popcorn and hotdogs with buns.

Aside from the fact that popcorn is well-known to go with any kind of movie in theatres out there, nothing beats filling up your tummies while filling up your eyes to movies with booms like when the popcorn is being cooked in low heat. Aside from the fact that hotdog is also well-known to go with any kind of drink in theaters out there, nothing beats filling up your tummies even more while also filling up your minds with cracks like when the hotdog is being cooked in medium heat.

Simply put, snacking on popcorn and hotdogs with buns during a movie, especially with your friends in the local theater, makes the seeing experience more real than ever.

Watching a movie in the living room with your families? Snack on chips and bread with dips.

Aside from the fact that bread is also well-known to go with any kind of drink in houses out there, nothing beats filling up your tummies even more while also filling up your minds with bangs like when the bread is being dipped in fast motion.

Indeed, the wonders of Netflix continue to shine bright upon those who are looking to chill every Saturday night.

That being said, here are some chick flicks to binge-watch on Netflix that will definitely make your Saturday nights shine even brighter:

Clueless

The charm of Alicia Silverstone in this movie never fails to make others shine bright with adoration for her.

Set in a high school filled with jocks, nerds, cheerleaders, and overachievers, Alicia takes on the role of Cher – a fashionably beautiful and rich daughter of a lawyer who longs to have a boyfriend who will truly love her for who she is. Paul Rudd, on another hand, takes on the role of Josh – Cher’s ex-stepbrother and her father’s apprentice on being a lawyer, as well as the one who truly loves her for who she is.

Just My Luck

As luck would have it, Lindsay Lohan and Chris Pine will make us realize the true power of love – even if things get roughest than rougher than rough.

Just My Luck follows the lucky life of Ashley (played by Lohan) and the unlucky life of Jake (played by Pine). In what looks really destined to happen, they switched luck in a masquerade party organized by Ashley for her boss and for their potential client. Ashley then went on a crazy journey to get back her luck – only to realize that the man helping her was the same man who accidentally took it.

The Heartbreak Kid

Ben Stiller has done it again. It’s not exactly a wild movie on Netflix; but I’m telling you, it will break hearts.

Single at 40, Ben Stiller takes on the role of Eddie – a sports shop owner in San Francisco. Malin Akerman takes on the role of Lila, the environmental researcher who became Eddie’s wife after only a few months of dating. Michelle Monaghan, on another hand, takes on the role of Miranda – a family-oriented woman Eddie met during his and Lila’s honeymoon in Cabos and his one true love.
